TT multi?

For what its worth (probably not much)

Sophomore Stunners vs Journeyman Dookie Island (no warning for Dookie - they just ran their default stuff)
I spammed GL roll out and GL HB pitch as much as I could

http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/63723/box_score

For those who'd rather just get highlights:
Dookie wins 52-31

Minnesota manages 370 yards of offense
52 carries - 7.2 yards per carry

Dookie runs GL D vs GL O (which isn't a very good choice, as we generally know)

Just trying to share data points as we've all been doing.


Edit: In all honesty - If I could change my D to actually be a real one rather than just randomly selected plays-- I might actually win if Dookie didn't change anything.

That is not in any way meant to say "I'm awesome" -- purely meant to highlight the strength of those plays

This isn't for a standard offense Homage. I'm speaking to the idea of going balls-to-the-wall on trying to exploit the pitch/rollout offense. For that, you want the OTs, TEs, and extra FB instead of WRs. If Corndog would let us sign 5 TEs or 4 FBs, I'd get 2 more TEs or FBs instead of OTs, but the OTs are the next best option as roster limitations currently exist.

Any team that's lining up right now and running zero passing plays per game, and carrying Wide Receivers on the roster, isn't maximizing what they're trying to do.

I get your exploits. Stop trying to tweak your statements as though I have no concept of what you're trying to do. It's nothing special.

You seem to underestimate the power of OOP... you treat 5% like it's nothing. It's for every attribute in the game.
It's a 5% dock on all of your rolls.

A FB or TE isn't going to be 5% better at blocking than a blocking WR. (and that just breaks even)... the only advantage I can see with any of this is the salary portion which I guarantee you haven't even thought of. Outside of that... you're at best breaking even in the blocking ability.

I've definitely thought about the fact that OTs, FBs, and TEs are considerably cheaper than WRs. I mentioned as much to Xavori this past season when I discussed the idea with him as he molded Yorick into what it is this season.

Ya. I already admitted I blatantly stole Galithor's idea for Yorick's new lineup.

The game just doesn't let you have enough TE/FB's, and I don't run enough goal line to make extra OT's at BTE all that valuable.

I knew it was something dumb.

Lol I was wondering why Yorick had 2 FB's. I just looked at depth. TE, HB and FB's available at WR spots? LOL, damn you Galithor and your evil diabolical schemes. Just stop giving your ideas to Xavori. He's the one dude who will take it to the bank.

That's exactly why I shared it with Xavori. I can't own two teams to do it myself.
